Have you tried long pressing and going to input method?

Or going to menu > settings > KB > tick the htc_ime box?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SaSha1103:
HTC-IME

The low res 1.5 (no voice) version is working fine on my hero now.

THnx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stoney73:
yes, but it still wont appear.

But have installed better keyboard, am happy enough with that for now. Butt thanks for the inquiry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Weird. The first thing I did after flash it was to install Titanium Backup to restore my apps. The Root Permission app didn't pop out as usual and Titanium complained my phone had no root.

Did I miss something ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, that's known. Just install anetshare or something like it from market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. I guess so. As I resored my apps using titanium too :) Did you wipe before flashing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Press the "problems" button in titanium and download what it tells you too.

If you go to settings -> about phone ->battery use.. what's the program what takes most energy? Maybe some weird app is taking all the energy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooper104:
when you logged into google, did you click the backup settings option? i was having this issue with all the roms i was trying recently so i flashed without signing in to google, rebooted a few times, then logged in without this set. been running now for 3 days with no issues at all..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Any idea how to switch it off? I am not really willing to flash it again....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
OK, I found it under privacy. Let's see if this improves my battery....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Yes, I did a full wipe =(

Fortunately I made an nandroid backup of FroyVillain before changing back to Villain. Later I will check out the "problems" button. Maybe a update in busybox does the trick =)

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Scratch what I wrote about VPN Connections in the market before...

Just set up a dev environment, pulled down the current code for it and pushed it to my phone.... and it worked first time so the current compilied in tun is fine it seems and it was some kind of app issue....

Looking forward to the next release - planning on testing/including the recently mentioned 'H' fix?

Thanks! Gonna give it a try...

Yeah, I'll have a look at the H thing. VPN should all be enabled and working in the kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
I guess everyone has that issue because of the camera bug but it will surely be fixed in a later version...thats my guess at least :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Oh. I thought you couldn't use market. The QR-Codes are an issue since the focus on camera doesn't work.

But if you use search for it, you'll find it.

Ah nice, it cool to include this in next update if it works? This is just the xml mod, isn't it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TimD123:
Definitely cool to include in the next update. And yes, just a mod to an xml file using apktool. Doesn't re-compile to the same size though which may or may not be an issue for you. Wasn't for me. Something to do with compression on one of the files. Known thing for apktool though.

Backup this rom. I really like it but it had some importante issues.

Camera, Flash and some app support.

I will be watching for a new reelase with major fix or compatibility.

I like it.

Wow love this rom so far didnt want to risk changing after been on villain 12 trouble free but glad i did, will test properly tomorrow for battery life and stability.

Only thing i have found so far gallery goes weird when you turn the phone sideways.

Oh and anyone got the old phone ringtone please? dont like any of the default ones on this rom.

Cheers mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] freddie001:
anyone reccomend a decent camera app for this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the standard camera app takes good photos but has no screen preview. camera magic has a (slow) screen preview but takes not too great photos and can crash at times.

those are your options afaik.

from my very superficial understanding of the fundamental problem, the screen preview (in the current froyo roms for Hero) is outputting high resolution but our Hero screens are only medium resolution. hence, it breaks the screen preview. That could be incorrect though and it could also have been solved a while back and our current issue could be different. Just posting anything I can think of to help users understand the issues.

The screen preview being broken is why video recording doesn't work also (video recording on the hero is only a recording of the realtime screen preview in case you weren't aware of this. Therefore not only do we need screen preview working for video recording to work, but the better the quality of the screen preview (resolution, motion blur, framerate, focus, etc) the better the resulting video recording.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeelzeM:
I love this ROM, so good job team Villain! Keep up the good work!

I do have a couple of small issues with this release.

1. I absolutely dislike the screen rotation to both 'sides' when turning the phone to its side, left or right.

2. I can't seem to access www.live.com mailbox in the browser.

There were more, but I can't remember so they aren't too important.

WiFi Speed

Anybody else notice how slow WiFi is with this ROM? Slower than the MCR Android 2.1 I was running before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
1. in all other froyo roms you can choose only 90degrees left, 180degree rotation (which cyanogen incorrectly calls 270degrees LoL), or 270degree full rotation (which cyanogen incorrectly calls 360degrees!!?). However the cyanogenmod settings aren't present in froyd. Where do we set that stuff guys?

Note: I just turn off screen rotation in the launcherpro settings, but it would be nice to get control back for how things rotate.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Final Theme here ==> http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=2314

1. As dkelley said, look into launcherpro's behavior settings and uncheck rotation.

2. I can't either ;(

FroydVillain 1.1 released.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
My keyboard seems to have a few graphical glitches (not that big of a deal. The voice dictation no longer works though. It just displays a mic with a cross through it and never asks me to speak now :( I do miss that feature.

"HTC IME MOD keyboard added, no voice input" ?

Multitouch also seems to not work :(

The rom does feel much smoother though, scrolling through the list of apps feels great. Flipping between screens is damn smooth too.

Rebooting now, and love the new Bootup screen! Had a few force-closes with 1.0.0. but i'm 'quietly confident' that these bugs will be ironed out and soon be as stable as VillainROM 12.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mges:
Hi all, I dont like Launcher Pro, please help me to remove it or back to previous laucnher app in FroydVillain 1.0.0.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
Cyanogen's got it exactly right. If a right-side-up screen is zero degrees and a left turn is 90 degrees, then an upside down screen is 180 degrees and a right turn is 270 degrees. Calling it 360 degree rotation means that the screen can go from zero to 90 to 180 to 270 and back to 360, which is also zero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I agree with the term 360 degree rotation for the entire feature. but in the settings menu it's "off (or similar wording)", "normal" (which couldn't be represented as any number than 90 degrees if you are going to put a number on it at all), "270" for the 180 degree rotation (which is simply wrong no matter how you look at it) and "360" to enable the final position which is, in fact, 270 degrees.

Not much thought must have been put into that, although I'm a user interface developer/creator as my day job so maybe I just see things from a user perspective a little differently than some developers might do.

I'd suggest "disabled", "normal", "180" *, and "full".

* - possibly the 180 could become something like "upside down" for sake of consistency and for ease of understanding by users.

The only other logical and clear option would be "disabled", "90", "180", "270".

no other math does it. there's no way that saying "270" to represent a phone that can do upside down rotation makes any sense LoL.

So far, so good with 1.1.0. Overclock working well, I love that I can choose my own speeds rather than being locked down, as most other devs have done. My phone is happier at 650mhz than 690mhz.

Two things aside from the camera that I'd like to see:

1.) LED notifications. Seems like no one can get this right though.

2.) Gmail app. Everything is HUGE! Message text obeys the setting under "Settings", but the message panels are still enormous and I have to scroll left and right to see 100%.

This was not the case with Froyd 1.0.0.

Great work Team Villain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Led notifications and trackball light,missing too :(

What about "compcache"?

Enabled at new version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
Although wipe is required I'm gonna install this, great work!

Couple of questions though..

Do i have to have the Facebook app installed to get facebook contact sync?

And is there any way to save my ringtone settings and other settings i made in the system, getting a bit tired of doing the same thing over and over.

And what about the Villian Rom Updater, will it ever be used, otherwise i might as well uninstall it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JaniKr:
About camera:

1. Start Camera

2. Start Google Maps

3. Switch to Camera using Home key (Recent), you get some preview when you press softkeys.

It seems that camera uses GPS.

Hero / Fusion!ROM 2.2 Update4

The updated will be used for smaller updated, that don't require full wipes. There haven't been any of these yet, but once the larger issues get sorted, smaller fixes will go OTA :)

I don't know if it is just the problem of me, but i am not able to download any app in the market???? Any suggestions??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Must just be you. Market is fine here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Same case here. Anyway, the market is strange. If I select and app there is no Install vs. Cance button, just starts to download and there is a button Cancel download on the bottom. Parallel actually it is not downloading anything. Just stuck at "Starting download". If I cancel the donwload I got an FC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wichle:
I would like to know that too... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Well, no. I am a bit confused but most probably this is just some lack of knowledge. The reason my market was not working is that my phone started to restore all the applications that were installed before. Maybe due to the google backup??? I am surprised. But, market is working fine ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ahh. Forgot to mention that. The market automatically remembers what you were using before, and adds it itself :)

This will stop it working right till you get a notification saying "22 items successfully installed" or something like that.

Just leave it to finish any you'll be fine :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
I'm reluctant to log this as a bug on the VillainROM forums as I don't have sufficient information, but I thought I'd at least bring it to the dev's attention here.

With every 2.2 ROM I have tried to date, I get occasional slowdowns, DRASTIC ones. Since few others had reported similar here, I assumed it was one of my apps. However, when it happened to me again now, using Froyd 1.1.0, I logged into shell and did a "top".

Sure enough, one process was eating all my CPU. The offending process was:

Name: /system/bin/akmd

UID: compass

Ending that process solved the problem completely. It'll be back, I'm sure.

Hopefully this is of some use to the Devs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
We are aware of this one at the moment, pondering a potential fix :) I need to flash to 1.1.0 final myself, as I'm using an internal test. Once I do that, I can work on the bugs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hippinho:

So wiped and I installed 1.1. FB sync works great. Performance is much better and thankfully dictionary working now. Loving the larger widget selection included.. No multitouch in browser. Only 2 wallpapers or something gone wrong for me? Setcpu didn't autodetect clocks optimally so had to custom set... but that isn't a major issue at all. Vpnc is working... not tested tether yet.

cant overclock

Since the udpate to Froyd 1.1 I can't seem to overclock with set cpu past 614 mHZ.

The phone locks up when setting the frequency past 614. When I was on froyd 1.0 it ran stable on 729 mHZ.

Yes, I did a full wipe before flashing to 1.1

Any suggestions as to why overclocking isn't working for me this time around?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:

amazingly smooth i really like it everything works fine so far...

the only thing i dont seem to get is the live wallpapers?

even if i download them from the market i cant find/use them?

VillainROM Updater Warning Message

Anybody else getting "You are running an old Rom-Version. To use the Updater, you have to upgrade manually. Click the open Browser Button below, to open up the Instructions" when the launch the VillainROM Updater?

I'm running Froydvillain 1.1.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] textillim:
So far it seems really smooth. Less menu lagg wich is great!

Yes, same here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Yes you can. The updates will go to /data/app and Android will use those as they're newer.

It's a new problem brought about by the fix to the touchscreen driver to solve the issue with AOSP ROMs experiencing high CPU usage when supplying touch input to games. It's being worked on.

Yeah I cocked up the build.prop. 1.1.1 will probably be appearing later today.

Things down to be fixed in 1.1.1:

Gmail app using the hi res drawables.

Multitouch restored to the touch input driver.

Workaround for the compass daemon going nuts.

Fix some of the init scripts that I missed.

Restoration of some ringtones/wallpapers from Froyd 1.0.

We're looking into the notification on the trackball and LED.

I know it kinda sucks having so many releases but hey, this is the bleeding edge of ROMs right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Because, in 1.0.0 the Kernel wasn't OC'ing correctly, when mine was running fine at 740mhz I thought something was up as I'd never managed to get it above 652mhz. The new kernel in 1.1.0 is overclocking as before now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quickshooter:
GPS not working

GPS doesn't work for me in the Google maps. Tried to switch it off and on, but nothing happens.

flashed a new Radio Rom, which I understand is the lastest - 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14 but still no luck.

Anyone has/had the same issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
It wasn't OCing -at all- the numbers being shown were purely cosmetic.

614 has to be a new record low that I've seen, until today I haven't seen a single one that can't do 652.

Good job I changed the default clock spread to top out at 576 eh? I had a feeling some Heros just utterly suck at overclocking after some instability reports on VR12 stock kernel, as that's clocked at 652 on boot, this pretty much confirms it.

Though I'd recommend re-running auto detect in SetCPU again just to make sure it picked up the table correctly.

GPS works perfectly for me here, indoors too. There is a bug with HTC's GPS daemon (we don't have the source code for this unfortunately) which is known to cause issues if you've ever disabled GPS use.

Try:

Disable GPS. Reboot. Enable GPS, reboot, reboot again to recovery and reflash the radio.

Otherwise, no clue, sorry.

Hmm, after installing this rom i've had problems playing mp3 files.

Mp3 files aren't a supported format (that's what the mediaplayers tell me).

Also camera magic doesn't work quite well.

1 Shot works, but when i take the second one, it freezes.

Any idea?

Also... i've got 1.0.0 installed.

Do i have to backup and reinstall the whole rom again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 3djon:
Ok makes sense, guess I was being a bit optimistic for my little hero. So 652 is the safe frequency to use then
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jimbob0i0:
Haha... well I enjoy playing with diff ROMs anyway... payday is Tues and I expect to be donating at the VR forums then....

Once this is pretty much stabilised (in a few weeks or whatever) will there be a kitchen for it?

I disabled the cloud backup in privacy before wiping/reinstalling from froyd 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 but on first boot it still downloaded all the market apps that had been installed before.... I was hoping to use my titanium backup or at the very least get my WLAN settings back first to avoid using up my dataplan... anyone see any similar behaviour or have any clues how to stop this on next flash?
